Help ID this P bass.

[spyder]

Hi guys ,

I need your help and wisdom to ID this bass.

It is being advertised as 1993 Made in Japan P Bass.

Is it the real deal?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.....

Looks legit. Wouldn’t fake that model - you’d fake an early 80’s JV if you were faking a squier.

Fantastic...

Any idea what it's worth?

I have no idea.

Clear fake, I'm sure the original didn't have a Red Stripe sticker??? 😉

For value check sale prices on eBay. What's the seller asking, we can tell you if it's in the right ballpark. 😃

Early 90’s Jap Squiers vary - but are on the up.

£300-£450 depending on condition.

About £350 is good money

Welcome. Get a nice tort on that, sort of budget Pino.

Personally I'd get a Squier classic vibe P bass, better bass all round imho, and I've owned a few 80s and 90s Squier's, as well as classic vibes. 😎

I dunno, I’ve played 100’s of classic vibes - used to sell 3 or 4 a week. They’re consistent, but the hardware (machineheads) let them down.

I’ve owned and played 80’s Jap Squiers - I’m still trying to buy one back (sold when going through a messy separation, not because I wanted to) and done set ups and restrings on a fair few of the 90’s ones. Great workhorse basses - bit more solid feeling than the CV’s.
 

If the OP has spotted this one, it’s ticked his fancy and he gets it for a good price - I wouldn’t dissuade him or push him to something else.

 

And that Red Stripe sticker adds value 😂😉
